Description
This beargrass flower, Xerophyllum tenax, is just starting to bloom. The flowers of beargrass grow on a stalk that can be 6 feet tall with many small flowers. Each flower is creamy white, and saucer shaped, and has a sweet aroma. The lowest flowers bloom first, creating a tight knot of buds at the top. The entire flower looks a little like fluffy, upside down ice cream cone.
Beargrass is found in open forests and meadows at sub alpine and low alpine elevations in the western United States.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments.
